Ten male and ten female finalists tried to ‘chomp’ their way to victory in the first ever NY Steak Shack Steak Eating Challenge held in IOI City Mall, Putrajaya recently.

The Winners of NY Steak Shack Wagyu Steak Eating Challenge

Spurred on by the crowd, Shahzurin Khirrudin out-ate the other finalists and emerged champion in the male category, recording a stunning time of four minutes and 13 seconds as he polished off 200gms of Darling Downs Wagyu Striploin alongside two NY Steak Shack signature sides – corn on the cob and fries – and a cup of Pepsi.

Meanwhile Grace Wong proved to be equally adept at conquering the Wagyu Striploin and sides, charting a winning time of five minutes and 33 seconds.

For their sterling efforts, not only did Shahzurin and Grace walk away with bragging rights, they also received FREE meals at NY Steak Shack for an entire year as the coveted prize.

Earlier before the Wagyu Steak Eating Challenge, the crowd at IOI City Mall was given the chance to participate in the fanfare by taking part in a ‘Fries & Pepsi’ Eating Challenge, in which the winner walked away with the Instax Square SQ20.

The mechanics were simple; all they had to do was finish a cup of Pepsi and a plate of crispy fries in the quickest time.

From 1 September to 30 November 2018, guests who ordered a wagyu steak at any NY Steak Shack outlet were given the opportunity to take part in the steak eating challenge. Out of the hundreds of entries, ten male and ten female finalists were chosen by random to battle it out for the title of NY Steak Shack Steak Eating Champion.
